But that is just ridiculous.
I am the worst blogger in the history of all bloggers. I know.
I apologize.
Here's the deal. Facebook has RUINED my blog because I post constantly to the FB and neglect the old blog. It's unfortunate because I can go into so much detail with the blog as opposed to the facebook.

"lying under your despair
i cried
for things lost
things driven away
things left behind
scattered and strong
i needed you to believe
and so
this is why I searched through my words
for I could not hold your hand"

I actually woke up before 10 today! Gettin' my day started with a few phone calls from friends was nice. One from one of my best buddies in Sedona, AZ, and one from my long time friend Chris here in TX. We have big plans for this evening!
Chris and I used to run around together in college when he was Rodeo buddies with a guy I used to hang out with in high school.

I created a baked potato casserole today out of some leftover mashed potatoes I found in the freezer. Super easy.
I had about a cup of mashed potatoes, maybe a little more.
Half a cup of shredded cheese.
2 big thick cut strips of bacon, cooked.

It's official! I am home in Dallas, TX for Christmas! I flew in last night at 9:30pm. My brother picked me up and immediately took me to Taco Bell, then home to my parent's house. It's pretty chilly... it was 36 degrees this morning... Whew!

I have been HARD at work on my new place in between work and fun! I have also spent some pretty good money at home depot and the local hardware store. It's so fun and pretty much instant gratification when it comes to home repairs. This is my first time actually fixing up a place on my own and I am having a blast! Yesterday I finished my kitchen floor!

I just had the most relaxing 3 days off in a row. I can't remember the last time I had that much time off! (besides when I was unemployed for 2 weeks a few months ago!) And let me tell ya, it was awesome. I did absolutely NOTHING. I watched too much tv, played on the internet waaaaaay too much, and somewhere in between naps I found a new place to live!

Things are a bit crazy down here in old Key West! As per usual... It's slow season here, which makes the locals go a bit nuts. This is the time of year that people start getting cranky, mean, stressed out, and downright weird. The lack of people in town and the lack of money coming in creates a riff that is only cured by season coming back around.
